Like Like Excited Happy Anxious Angry Sad Comment Share Shubham Dupare ANALYST Follow Modified 13 Aug 2022 Spezia will entertain Empoli at the Stadio Alberto Picco in their Serie A opener on Sunday. Both teams finished in the lower half of the points table last season and will look for better campaigns this time. Spezia got their 2022-23 season underway with a win in the Coppa Italia first round on Saturday, beating Serie B side Como 5-1 at home. Empoli also featured in the first round of the cup competition last week but lost to Serie B team SPAL 2-1 at home. They'll look to avoid a similar fate in their Serie A season opener.

Aquilotti, meanwhile, produced a solid display in the cup competition. While Spezia's home advantage and form gives them an advantage, recent meetings between the two teams have been low-scoring affairs, with most of them ending in draws. So it's very likely they could play out another stalemate in their campaign opener on Sunday. Prediction: Spezia 1-1 Empoli Paul Merson predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool and other EPL GW 10 fixtures!
